Hello @Angelita4

Thanks for joining the PayPal Community!

I'm sorry to hear about the concern your recent email has caused. If you receive a Goods & Services payment, you will be charged an automatic fee which enables your Seller Protection. However, you will never be asked to pay a fee to enable your ability to receive payments.  I recommend referring to our Help Center to learn more about common scams and how to spot fake PayPal emails. If you clicked on any links in the email, I suggest resetting your password and security questions as well as running a virus/malware scan on your device right away.

I hope this information helps! 

- Meghan
